YouTube, the video social-networking website owned by Google, is building a vast network of content providers, a company spokesman told AFP. YouTube has concluded “more than 1,000 partnerships” with content providers both big and small, YouTube spokesman David Song said late Friday, confirming a New York Times report. He declined to comment further on the company’s strategy of constructing a huge authorized library. YouTube has run into legal disputes with companies such as Viacom, parent of MTV and Paramount Pictures. YouTube was forced to remove more than 100,000 unauthorized clips of Viacom television programs in February after a promised copyright protection system was not installed on the popular website.
